ChronicDepressionDysthymia near Delray Beach, FL

Care Philosophy: As a physician, a mother, I understand the difficulty and sometimes even hesitation about seeking treatment for yourself or your child.I believe in honesty with my patients, regarding diagnosis and treatment options, so that my patients can make an informed decision for themselves. I want my patients to be part of the decision making, and this is achieved by educating patients on risks, benefits and alternatives of treatment. I want my patients to feel empowered, because their symptoms leave them feeling powerless and hopeless. One of my most important roles as a psychiatrist is to instill hope for my patients. Depression is a treatable condition, and now with cutting edge technology, of TMS therapy, we have even more treatment options for patients who have struggled with side effects of conventional treatments and symptoms affecting their ability to function. My job is to return patients back to functioning.This is how I would want to be treated, with honesty, dignity and compassion.
